Dance Flexibility- Adults & Teens

Aerial Technique

A great way to cross-train in your pole/aerial journey, this series will use many different techniques to help you. This includes but isn’t limited to floor conditioning, strength training, and basic aerial conditioning. All levels are welcome!

Mixed Level Aerial Silks

Mixed Level Aerial Silks Series invites all levels of adult students. We do require that students are at least enrolled in our beginner aerial silks series.

Beginner Static Trapeze/Lyra

You may have heard of the aerial silks, which are all the rage, but are you familiar with static trapeze? The trapeze itself does not swing or fly, but you will soar as you learn tricks and techniques of circus aerialists. Static trapeze can be impressive to watch, and rewarding to learn. It is considered the “piano” of aerial apparatus because when you become accomplished on it, you will have achieved the strength and dexterity necessary for all the other aerial apparatus. Lyra (Aerial Hoop) is a round, hard, and more spinning version of the static trapeze. In this 8-week class we will be doing conditioning and stretching specifically for aerial work, as well as focusing on proper alignment and methods to safely mount the trapeze and Lyra. Everybody arrives in the class with differing physical and mental abilities, and tricks and corrections will be based on each student’s individual capabilities and talents. There will be a basic beginner’s repertoire of skills (“tricks”) that will be covered, but the goal of the beginner’s class is to develop the strength and flexibility that is a good foundation for progressing on this equipment.
